Dec 17, 2006 Bottle. Deep garnet color with a tan head. Subtle aromas that seem to go on and on... Bananas, dark fruit, leather, bubble gum; I’d be happy to sit and sniff this beer all night. Flavor is sweet with more dark fruits; raisins and dates primarily but there’s some banana and candy in there as well. Bubbly with a warm bready note. Quite spicy. Sweet/ dry finish.

May 8, 2007 Pours a dark clear brown color, off white head. Aroma is strong belgian notes. Raisins and plums come to mind immediately. Flavor starts with vanilla, sweet with some lavender/floral notes. Sweet end with a nice body to it.

Oct 19, 2008 750ml corked and caged bottle: Soft brown colored pour with a firm tan cap. The nose is simple but enjoyable with a nice mix of raisins, caramel and alcohol. Big, sweet body offers an expansion on the malty nose, with roast, sweet chocolate and butter joining the mix. The raisins hit the tongue on the back end, along with a good dose of ethery alcohol. The yeast seems secondary here, not adding enough Belgian oomph. No complex esthers to speak of. I was also expected the addition of raisins to play off the malty raisin and plum notes that I have come to love in this style. This example falls a bit flat for me.

Sep 10, 2009 750 ml bottle I picked up in Idaho. Poured dark caramel with a thin tan head and minimal lacing. Aroma is full of brown sugar, figs, raisins, candi sugar and caramel. Flavor is very malty with caramel, a prominent raisin and fig mix and some light sugar. Not my favorite beer in this style, but a solid brew all the same. Beautiful label as usual from LA.

Dec 14, 2006 Bottle from realale420. Dark brown with tan colored head. Plums, rasins, figs, and caramel aroma. The taste was the same and very smooth. Soft, dare I say delicate mouthful. I would have rated this beer higher but as it warmed it took on an almost pepper like flavor. Thanks, Brian
